Up 84% (69/82) to 82% (64/78) on FT%, which is probably the deciding category. I’m also up 94 points and 12 steals so I simply have to “maintain” those categories. I also have one move left for the week and my opponent has none. I could try to replace Hood with Hezonja tomorrow (although this could reveal my last move to my opponent too quickly and he could bench Mitchell Robinson) OR I could play Hood tomorrow and then stream Belinelli on Sunday. Who would you play/sit/stream over the next 2 days? I’m tempted to sit guys like Fox, Rondo, Delon Wright, even Lopez. Harden is obviously my ace in the hole, but how would you play it here with all my other players?
MY TEAM
Fox – plays twice (possible sit?)
Harden – once
Delon Wright – once (possible sit on Sunday?)
Siakim – once?
Clarkson – once
Seth Curry – once
Rondo – once (possible sit?)
Middleton – once
Brook Lopez – once?
Pope – once
Hood – once
MY OPPONENT
Beverly – possibly twice
Giannis – maybe once if he even plays
Harkless – once
Tobias Harris – once
Vucevic – once (hot at the FT line)
Zach Collins – once
Justin Holiday – twice (hot in steals lately)
Dwayne Bacon – once
Mitchell Robinson – once
I would keep Fox and Wright in there for sure. I'm thinking maybe stream Belinelli or Ian Clark on Sunday for Rondo. With FT% being a key factor Rondo could hurt you in that cat. Tough decisions.
Bring it home! Good luck!
I added Hezonja for Hood before I saw your post. Would you keep Siakim in? Delon Wright has been ice cold from the line as of late.
Also Fox is around 72% FT on the season, probably the worst on my team.
I would stick with Wright. He is shooting 75% from the line this season and is an 80% career FT shooter. Yes, I would keep Siakim in. Sometimes you have to stick with the guys that got you to the dance.
Good luck!
I think you need to play your guys. If you get cute and your opponent has a big day, that would eat at you forever.
In terms of FT%, looks like you already made your move. I think you just roll with it and hope Harden goes 11-11.
Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately this team was nearly last in FT% this season and I was #1 and yet Gobert is at 82% this week and Giannis fantastic as well. The pains of H2H. I added Hezonja for Hood today and I may play Delon Wright for Fox today for the steals plus low volume FT.
Tomorrow Fox plays again and I’ll have Middleton, Lopez, Pope, Wright again to his Giannis, Bacon, Justin Holiday, and Beverly. I also have Rondo as insurance tomorrow but I may just sit him.
It can still happen for you! You just need an awesome Sunday!
Bring it home!
Unfortunately Siakim and Hezonja did not play. I replaced Fox with Wright which paid off in steals. I’m up 84.7 to 81 in FT%, up 12 steals, losing TO by 3, and I’m up 107 points.
He has no moves left and Giannis, Beverly, Justin Holiday, and Bacon tomorrow so I’m tempted to bench my entire team honestly. He’d have to make over 20 straight FT’s but if I bench everyone he’ll probably lose TO. And 12 steals would be difficult to get from only 4 players.
What do you guys think?
I'm so glad that Wright jumped up with 5 steals for you last night!
I can't say that I have ever had the guts to bench my entire team on the last day in order to win. I get everything your saying but make sure and triple check that it can't bite you. That would be the absolute worst way to lose. I can't even weigh in on this one. That's all you brother.
I hope it works out!
Up 12 steals, down 3 TO
He has Beverly, Justin Holiday, and Bacon so I'm benching everyone. I hope it works out.
Did you win it?
I did win it. And I actually won 6-3 by benching all my guys.
That's great news! Congratulations!
Look forward to working with you next season to help you defend your championship.
